I wanted you to want me

by @shaima-al-marzouqi

I always felt like I was suffocating her Feared that she's seeing too much of me Got afraid that she'll get sick of me So I gave her space I backed a little and waited Waited to see how long would it take her to think and wonder about me How long would it take her to remember me I was always the one who initiated So this time, I waited for her to come to me For her to ask about me For her to talk to me I wanted you to wonder about me I wanted to be adored by you I wanted to matter to you I wanted you to want me I wanted you The sad thing about love is that you are not always loved by the person you love And that is my case with you, beautiful I fell in love with a person who I can't let a day go by without her, while she can go weeks without me crossing her beautiful mind You are a disease that I do not want to be recovered from
